I'm guessing as I get older my views will change on this.. as the knees start cracking :P

 

Like most things in life, depends on the view from your perspective different arguments will start to carry more weight... in life and business

My 2 cents - I was on the Spruit this am and was swiftly overtaken by some dude on an uphill - my initial thought was fark I am not as fit (or strong) as I thought I was! I then looked down and saw the motor and to his credit as he passed me he said "I'm cheating"!

 

To be honest I was not disheartened at all as it actually looked way too easy and I did not see the point - but that is my view, he may have a totally different perspective or reason for riding an e-bike and good for him - it has bugger all to do with me. I was just chuffed that I was able to ride and get a good workout.

How did the e-bike (and rider) do in the 94.7?  

(Read something about it in the little magazine we received at registration.)

Just as long as it  has pedals.

450w+ emotorbikes are pretty common now. Soon we'll start measuring them in kW and that will be the end of emotorbikes in races.

 

Cmon you crazy scientists - make it happen!!

Uhm .... have a look at the "e" class at Isle of Man .....

 

WAY past "kW" ..... e-bikes way faster than stock-super-bikes !!

Well sure but they don't have pedals right?
